A small favour. A real release.

Help thoughtful apps make it to Google Play.

I build small, private tools independently. Before Google lets a new app launch, real people need to join its closed test. Your place in that test makes the release possible—and your honest feedback makes the app better.

Your opt-in changes the outcome

Google currently requires eligible new personal developer accounts to keep at least 12 testers opted in for 14 continuous days before applying for production access. Without that small group, an app cannot reach the public store.

Protected by the Play Store

A test build, through Google’s official route

You install from Google Play—not from an APK or an unfamiliar download page.

  • Google Play distributes the test build securely.
  • Play Protect checks Play Store apps before download and scans installed apps.
  • You control app permissions and can leave the test or uninstall at any time.
  • No app requires an account or asks you to provide or share personal data with us.

A fair question

Free apps, free testing — so where's the catch?

If the word “free” makes you look for the hidden price, you've been paying attention. Look here as long as you like — this is all you'll find:

The apps stay free after the test

You're not unpaid QA for a future paid product. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, no in-app purchases — not during the test, not after release. The Google Play listing itself declares all of this.

Your email does exactly one job

Google enrols testers by Google account, so your address goes on the tester list and receives test updates — nothing else. No marketing, never shared, and you can leave the list whenever you like.

Nothing is asked of you but patience

No review, no rating, no minimum usage. Install the app, stay opted in, and open it when you're curious — that is the entire job.

What I get is a release, not revenue

These apps earn nothing by design. Your opt-in gives me the one thing I can't buy or build myself: the small group of real testers Google requires before a free app may reach the public store.

That's the whole trade: fourteen days of your patience, and another genuinely free app — no subscription, no ads, no catch — becomes available to everyone.

Three easy steps

Join once. Explore at your own pace.

01

Pick what interests you

Choose one app or several. Each test is independent.

02

Request test access

Send the email for the Google account used on your Android device. I will add it to the tester list and email you when access is ready.

03

Try it and stay opted in

Use the app when convenient. Staying enrolled for 14 days is the part that unlocks a release; private feedback is a welcome bonus.

The workshop

Choose what you’d like to help release

Every card links to the latest browser build; apps currently in closed testing also include a button to request Android access. The web builds are under development and can be buggy.

That’s genuinely enough.

Choose an app, stay opted in, and use it only when you feel like it. A few minutes of curiosity can open the door to a public release.
